AN: I decided to remake my old Yugioh fanfiction from scratch and may include some speed dueling. Now first off. I will allow people to send in their own characters. However I can not promise them to be in. Just saying. Also the decks will be made up of my own personal ideas of cards and such. Some will be real and others will not. Also in the anime they could set cards in face up defensive mode. That's what I'm allowing, so don't bitch to me about it. Also the setting is a bit between GX and 5'Ds.
Somewhere, in a deep cave, lit only by candle light, seven people were chanting.
The chant didn't seem normal by any standards. All seven were cloaked in identical robes.
The One in the middle spoke after the chant was finished, his voice strong.
"It is almost time, we shall control the spirits for the Dark Lord" He said
Everyone murmured in agreement.
"You all know the plan" The man continued, "Remember, we are the embodiment of Sin and our power is limitless in this dark world" He said, he laughed and every clapped politely for his small speech.
The scene cuts to Domino High School, currently during recess.
"I summon Axe Raider in Attack mode"
In the middle of the playground a duel was going on, right on the blacktop. Both duelist wore their uniforms, one was a little chubby but had a tough face, his hair was short and brown and he smiled as he played his next card against the student
"I then give him Big Bang Shot, which not only boosts his attack by 400 but gives him a trampling effect" He said, "Now take out his Giant Soldier of stone and end this duel" He cried out
The Warrior monster charged at the stone statue and swung his axe, cutting it in half, and the duelist life points went to zero.
Clapping could be heard as the duel disks deactivated and he turned to his friend
One of them had long black hair tied back, and a pendant of Yin and Yang around his neck, he smiled. This was Bren Tenkage.
"Russell nice going" Bren said
"Yeah so we are gonna sign up for the Battle City?" Russell asked
"Of course we are, we are the two best duelists in the School, well currently, no one can beat Yugi, or Joey" Bren said holding up his deck, he smiled
"Come on we better get back to class, we can sign up after school at the Kami Shop" Bren said and the duo walked back inside.
After School the duo rode their bikes to the old Game shop, it wasn't fancy or anything but Kami was the one place to find any game you were looking for.
The old man smiled as the two walked in
"Let me guess, you want to sign up for the Kaiba Corp Battle city?" He asked and the three nodded
"Sign here and let me check the database for any information on each of you" He typing on the nearby computer.
"Right, Russell Figgins, ah the Warrior Duelist, yes rank 5 out of 6. Alright your in the tournament" He said and Russell High Fived Bren
"Bren Tenkage, interesting, the Swarming duelist, ranked 6 out of 6, you are most certainly in this tournament" He said smiling
"You two will be provided with two brand new duel disk and these" He said handing them two more stream lined duel disks, and instead of a blue line, it had a silver line along the disk. He also gave them each a clear card
"A locator card I assume" Bren said
"You saw the one a few years ago, ah I remember like it was yesterday, Yugi certainly did a good job that time" The man said smiling
"Right see ya later" Bren said as he and Russell walked out
"So Yugi think they will both be good challenges?" The man asked a shadowy figure in his back room
"I think they are people to keep an eye on" The voice replied, he sounded like a more adult version of Yugi and the man laughed a bit.
Bren and Russell got back onto their bikes and made their way back home.
A Few days passed and soon Battle City was upon them. Bren and Russell were out of their uniforms, Bren's outfit was a Black Shirt with a Blue Vest over it and black cargo pants. The pendant was also around his neck.
Russell's outfit consisted of a blue long sleeved shirt with brown slacks, unlike Bren who opted for his school shoes, he had regular tennis shoes.
"Alright, so now what do we do?" Russell asked Bren, they had no idea how the tournament was going to start, they could see many other duelist wearing similar duel disks, and they could even see familiar faces, like Mako Tsunami, Weevil Underwood, Aster Phoenix, and even Jaden Yuki.
"Attention all duelists!" a voice on a speaker called out, everyone looked up and saw a large blimp with the Kaiba Corp Logo on it, on the side was a large T.V. Monitor where they saw a man announcing and getting everyone's attention, "I now present to you, Mr. Kaiba" He said and moved off screen as the famous duelist in his classic Battle City outfit appeared on screen.
"Welcome duelists, I first want to congratulate all of you who have decided to join the tournament. I'm sure you are all wondering how this will work so allow me to explain the rules. First off the ante system will be in place, you lose, you the winner may take any card from you as well as the number of anted locator cards.
The number of locator cards needed to advance to the next round will be 10, and by inserting them all into the duel disk you will be able to find the location of the finals.
8 duelists will only be able to advance to the finals so I wish you the best of luck. The tournament begins in one hour so prepare yourselves Domino City!" He called out and the screen went blank. People began to cheer and clap and Bren closed his eyes and chuckled
"This is going to get good" Bren said smiling
"I agree Bren, I agree" Russell said
An hour passed and Bren and Russell were separated, they agreed to not duel each other unless it was in the finals. Russell went to the Town Square while Bren went to the docks.
Russell when he got to the square saw a large crowd watching a duel in progress so he figured he take a look at the action. He pushed his way through the crowd and saw the duelists
The first duelist was the green haired duelist Weevil Underwood who had his Great Moth (2600 ATK) on the field, it was on the field waiting for a command. While the other duelist was one who he thought he recognized but couldn't place his finger on it. He wore a dark blue coat but had gold buttons running down the middle. His duel disk was different from the others in Domino city but was instead a Crimson red one. His short military cut brown hair certainly set him apart from other duelist.
On his side of the field was what looked like a Soldier in uniform (2000 ATK) but in on his back was a rocket launcher. As well as two face downs.
Weevil LP (Life points): 1900
?: 3200 LP
"Grr… Take This, Great Moth blow way his soldier" Weevil said, he seemed angry at the man as the moth flew into the air and sent out gusts but the soldier kept his cool and revealed a trap.
"I activate my trap, emergency reinforcements" He said his voice a deep Russian accent, the trap card shown an image of a Swordsman of landstar being supported by a Marauding Captain and D.D. Warrior Lady
"By paying half my life points I can special summon from my hand for one turn two warrior type monsters (LP 1600) and I choose to summon Galbanian Sniper and my Galbanian Commander" He said
The two monsters looked like similarly clad soldiers but the Sniper was a female with what looked like a Mosin-Nagant (1900 ATK) while the commander held what looked like an AK74 and wore a Red Beret (1900 ATK)
"So what I still will destroy your Galbanian rocket soldier" Weevil said
"Sorry that is where you are wrong" He said, "you see by paying half my life points again, for one turn my Galbanian Commander can give all the ATK of all Galbanian monsters to one of his comrades, and I choose my Galbanian Rocket Soldier" He said as his life points went down to 800 his Rocket soldier's ATK went to 5800
"No way…impossible…." Weevil said at a lost of words
"Rocket Solider destroy that over sized bug with your Missile assault" He called out, the Soldier pulled his rocket launcher off his back and fired right at the moth destroying it in an awesome display of fire and explosives.
"I will be taking that locator card, as for a rare card I do not need anything of yours" He said taking the card from the now scared duelist.
"Who here wishes to challenge me, Rommel Nein to a duel?" He asked
"Rommel Nein, I remember now, he is that famous Commander, they call him a dueling genius, can't blame Kaiba for getting him to join the tournament" Russell thought
People were backing away, the way he trounced Weevil was enough to stop any takers.
Russell stepped into the circle holding the duel disk
"I'm in" He said activating it, "I bet my one Locator card"
"Finally a soldier among cowards, come let us begin this war, I will do the same and bet one locator card" Rommel said activating his duel disk
"Lets duel" Both called out
"I will start this skirmish, I summon Galbanian Foot soldier in defense mode" He said as the monster appeared, it looked like a regular foot soldier, with what looked like an MP40 in his hands (500 ATK, 900 DEF)
"I end my turn with one facedown, its your turn" Rommel said
Russell drew and smiled
"I summon Axe Raider in attack mode (1700 ATK) attack with axe slam bash" Russell cried out as the warrior swung his axe destroying the soldier
"You activate my soldier's effect, when he is sent to the graveyard as a result of combat, I am allowed to special summon one Galbanian soldier from my deck or add one Galbanian monster to my hand, I summon another Galbanian soldier to the field" Rommel said summoning another soldier to the field.
Russell sighed and laid two cards face down
"I end my turn" He said.
Rommel drew his next card and smiled
"I summon my Galbanian Sniper in attack mode" He said summoning the Sniper woman, she held her gun up at Russell (1900 ATK 1000 DEF)
"By paying 1000 life points I can have her attack you directly, now then Galbanian sniper, attack Russell directly" He said as she took aim and fired hitting Russell dead on
Russell: 2100 LP
Rommel: 3000 LP
"I end my turn" He said
Russell drew his next card
"I release Axe Raider in order to summon Axe Knight" He said as the monster appeared, he looked like a Knight but the armor was different, it looked like the sleeves of the mail was torn unevenly, as well as the pant legs. In his hands was a big axe hence the name, (2300 ATK 1400 DEF)
"Attack his Galbanian Soldier with Axe cutting storm" Russell called out and the monster swung multiple times cutting up the soldier
"A good move but I take no life point damage" He said but then he saw his life point counter go down, by 1400 to be precise
"What the?" He asked
"Axe Knight has a Trampling effect, since your monster was in defense mode, my monster could still inflict damage to your life points" Russell said
Rommel: 1600 LP
Russell: 2100 LP
"A clever move but I activate the trap, Retaliation" Rommel said, the card image looked like a Galbanian Soldier firing on a goblin attack squad and behind him lies the body of the Galbanian commander with a spear in his back.
"This trap only activates if I have two Galbanian monsters on the field and one of them is destroyed in battle, with this card I can have my other monster attack as if it was my battle phase, and with a boosted 500 ATK for this turn. Sniper, avenge your comrade" He called out and the Sniper took aim and fired at the Axe Knight destroying it.
Russell: 2000
"Don't forget my Soldier's effect, I summon another Galbanian soldier to the field in attack mode" Rommel said
"Darn it, what am I going to do?" Russell thought? He looked at his hand, he had a powerful monster, Buster Blader but no way to summon him, it wouldn't matter because next turn he was going to get taken down…unless…
"I end my turn by playing two cards facedown and end my turn" Russell said holding a card in his hand, it was only his Buster Blader but if he can pull off this move just right, he would win the duel.
Rommel drew his next card
"Now then Soldier attack him directly" He said as the soldier fired a few rounds in Russell
Russell: 1500 LP
"Sniper, end this battle" Rommel called out and the Sniper fired her gun
"I win, it was a good duel but I'm afraid you lost" Rommel said but then he noticed something, Russell's life points were at 600, they should have gone down to 0
"Sorry but I activate a spell card, my emergency provisions, and by destroying another card on the field, I was able to gain 1000 life points" Russell said
"A good move but next turn you will be defeated" Rommel said
"Sorry but there won't be a next turn, because the card I destroyed was called the Gem of the Hero (the image looked like a lone White Gem sitting on a Pedestal), and it if is destroyed by an effect card while it is face down on the field, I can special summon one warrior type monster for this turn, and I choose my Buster Blader" He said summoning the monster
(2600 ATK)
"What was the point of that?" Rommel asked
"Because I play the trap card Summoned Strike (the Card looked like a Marauding Captain charging out of a pillar of light) which only can activate if I special summon a monster this turn and by paying half my life points, my Buster Blader inflict damage equal to his attack to your life points" Russell said
Rommel closed his eyes and chucked as a wave of energy hit him taking out the rest of his life points.
Russell: 300 LP
Rommel: 0 LP
The duel disks deactivated and Rommel walked over to Russell and shook his hand
"You were a great duelist today, for that I congratulate you, here is my locator card, which card do you desire from my deck?" Rommel asked
"I wouldn't mind taking that Emergency Reinforcements" Russell said and Rommel handed him both the locator and regular card.
"I still have one card left, I hope to see you in the finals for a rematch" Rommel said walking off, he chuckled to himself
"Quite a good duelist, would have made a good soldier out in the field" He thought as he walked off.
Unknown to Russell he was being watched by a cloaked figure who had a black duel disk
"This should be interesting" The voice said, it sounded like a woman, and a sultry one at best.
AN: Read Review, and what not, and hopefully I update again.
